Hỡi Indra, chính vì Ngài—hỡi Adriva (người cầm đá)—mà có uy lực vô song; hỡi Vajrin (người cầm kim cang), bởi Ngài đã dùng mưu của māyā mà giết con thú mê hoặc, kẻ thù ấy. Chúng con ca tụng Ngài, và theo Ngài hướng đến vương quyền trên trời (svarājya).

{ "gloss_summary": "‘māyinam mṛgam’ denotes the māyā-possessing enemy (Vṛtra etc.) indicated by ‘mṛga’; ‘māyayā’ = Indra’s special means/strategy; ‘adrivaḥ’ = vajra/stone-bearing, strong.", "ritual_interpretation": "Praising Indra’s strategic victory is believed to confer unobstructed ritual efficacy and the sacrificer’s ‘svarāj’ (independent prosperity/authority).", "theological_insight": "Divine power includes upāya (skillful means); the victory over deception is a sacred model for overcoming ritual and inner impediments.", "etymology_highlights": "‘Adrivaḥ’ as ‘adrivat’ (stone-possessing/strong); ‘sva-rājyam’ as one’s own rulership—inner and outer autonomy." }
